A publisher just retracted ten papers whose peer review was “engineered” — despite knowing about the problem of fake reviews for years
What is this about?
This case is about a publisher, SAGE, who retracted 10 papers published as part of two special collections in Advances in Mechanical Engineering after discovering the peer review process that had been managed by the guest editors did not meet the journal’s usual rigorous standards[1].
Why is this important?
It is important to keep in mijn that reviewers can also commit scientific fraud.
